Miami Police Department detectives are searching for a driver connected to a hit-and-run accident involving a moped.
According to Miami Fire Rescue, a 23-year-old woman was driving her moped at the intersection of Northeast 79th Street and Fifth
Avenue around 11:30 p.m., Monday when a car struck her, sending her flying into the air.
The moped, left mangled on the road of the Midpoint shopping plaza, carried multiple passengers who were all injured.
Police say the driver of the vehicle took off on foot after the accident.
MFR responded, transporting the victim to Jackson Memorial Hospital with serious injuries. She is now in stable condition.
